Nearly a decade and a half since the release of Thomas Campbell's seminal 2004 movie “The Seedling,” which starred Joel Tudor, and others from the era's emerging Southern California underground longboard scene, the film stands out as a watershed event for surfing, as it reintroduced and augmented the style, performance,  equipment, and vibrant culture of surfing's past and kickstarted a cultural shift that has reverberated around the globe, influencing surfers from California to Australia to Indonesia to Japan, all the way to the small, insular, surf-crazed town of Zarautz in the Spanish Basque country, where hundreds came out to watch 16 of the world’s best loggers compete in the Duct Tape Invitational.
